Some residents identified the need for:
- An off-licence / late shop
- Seating in other areas within the villages
- Other service provision (hairdressers for example)
- Internet cafe
- Free distribution of magazine to Newcomers
- Befriending the recently bereaved
| There is a clear support for a system which allows ideas to be recorded, prioritised and acted upon. |

From the comments, suggestions included:
- Warm' swimming pool
- A delivery service for those unable to get out. E.g. food and newspapers
- A good Community Centre, to suit the needs of the Community
- Allied Medical/Social Care facilities e.g. Community Nurse, Chiropodist, Optical facilities, elderly care facilities, hairdresser, homecare advice / support
- The play area at the village hall has been a great success - thank you
- What a waste of money! Something else to be misused and vandalized e.g. Bus shelters
- Facilities are quite adequate now
- There are concerns expressed by those whose gardens back onto the playground
Some initiatives have already been taken. For example:
- Community Transport now available to the villages will meet the needs of the 'take you home' and 'take you out' services. (Phone 01782 751164 for more information.)
- One-Stop-Shop (an Information Centre) is currently being investigated by the Parish Council.
